‘‘It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material’’ (Watson and Crick, 1953). What will be true regarding the statement quoted?
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
| I: | The ‘specific pairing’ refers to complementary base pairing. |
| II: | The ‘possible copying mechanism’ refers to the conservative mechanism of DNA replication. |
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
